Aplolgia Pro Vita Sua Poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Aplolgia Pro Vita Sua

Rating: 3.0


The poet in his lone yet genial hour
Gives to his eyes a magnifying power :
Or rather he emancipates his eyes
From the black shapeless accidents of size--
In unctuous cones of kindling coal,
Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe's trim bole,
His gifted ken can see
Phantoms of sublimity.
